Our first visit to Le Reve was June 2023. We loved it so much, we returned in May 2025 and brought friends. Our stay this time was equally excellent and enjoyable. ||Le Reve is located in the heart of the Providencia neighborhood and within walking distance to countless extraordinary restaurants from upscale to casual, as well as the Costanera Mall. The neighborhood is safe and enjoyable to walk around.||The rooms at Le Reve are charming and well-appointed. We are partial to the rooms overlooking the courtyard, which has orange trees and plenty of tables and chairs for visiting or enjoying breakfast or a glass of wine. The courtyard is an oasis of peacefulness that captures the European influences on Santiago. The bathrooms are spacious with plenty of vanity space. Housekeeping is lovely and attentive.||One of our favorite features of Le Reve is the complimentary breakfast spread that is available every morning – scrambled eggs, bacon, an extensive array of pastries and breads, cereal, yogurt, meats and cheeses, fruit and juices. The fresh raspberry juice is perhaps the most delicious breakfast drink ever. The Le Reve breakfast is the perfect way to start each day before heading out for sightseeing.||The evening honor bar at Le Reve is a lovely way to either start or end your night. The selection of local wines and availability of other spirits and non-alcoholic drinks is a nice way to unwind. Or, if after sampling all the great food in Santiago, you just want a mellow cocktail before retiring for the night, it is available for you without having to navigate a crowded, noisy hotel bar.||While all of the features of Le Reve contribute to a comfortable stay, the best asset of Le Reve is its staff, which is gracious, welcoming, and helpful. Jose and Tomas always extend a smile and are quick to offer assistance – be it arranging for a car service to / from the airport, facilitating a car rental with pick up and drop off at Le Reve, making reservations at restaurants or offering suggestions as to where to dine, offering insights on sights to see, even arranging tour guides (on short notice) for specific day trips, or kindly storing luggage while we headed to other parts of Chile. ||While traveling, staying at Le Reve feels like having a home away from home. It is with profound gratitude to and appreciation for the staff at Le Reve that we extend our highest compliments and recommend Le Reve as an amazing place to stay in Santiago. We’ll be back. Gracias and...
Read moreI loved this hotel! The staff was really wonderful and accommodating. Juan was at the front desk each morning with a greeting of "Good Morning Madame." Nicolas was very helpful in arranging my stay prior to the visit, which was helpful. Every staff member was really friendly and accommodating. They served a small breakfast buffet in the main level each morning, even cooked eggs to order if you'd like. I went to this country traveling as a solo female. This was a nice location because it's walking distance to several restaurants and a lovely park. I felt completely safe in the area. My favorite was the Peruvian restaurant! I had this amazing seabass dish with scallops and calamari with a sauce on top. This was all on a bed of risotto. Chilian wine...fantastic! I wasn't familiar with this region's wine and was surprised at how good it was. My meal, paired with a lovely Chilian Sauvignon Blanc Reserve was so delicious that I went back and had the same thing the next night. There is also a hill about a mile away that has the Christ statue, that is very walkable. There is a Japanese Garden on the hill. If you can't walk there, there is a funicular and the Uber car service worked just as it does in the US. One tip, if you're from the US or North, the maps will be backwards on Google. Just google directions to get them in the direction you're going. I got lost the first day until I did my Google search on how to fix. The only problem I had was the language. Very few people speak English. I even went to a restaurant, fine dining at a park, quite lovely, but nobody spoke English and the menu was only in Spanish. To make matters worse, my phone died! Be prepared with how to use Google Translate, that will help, but if your phone dies, you're dead in the water. I found it very hard to communicate with people, which would not have been as bad had I not been traveling alone. I found it to be very isolating. I even took a tour with an English-speaking guide. I thought great, now I can chat with people, but NO! It was a guide who spoke Spanish, then translated to Portuguese, then English. I was the only English-speaking person on the bus. The museums, a few are only available in Spanish so no point going to those if you don't speak Spanish. Other than the language barrier, I had a lovely time. My highlight was my hotel...
Read moreOur Stay: July 26 - 29, 2023 Our stay at Hotel Boutique Le Reve was restful and everything we were looking for to end our 2-week travels throughout Chile. The location is close to many restaurants and shops, literally on the footsteps of the hotel entrance.
A few days prior to our arrival, we coordinated with the hotel staff parking logistics as we planned to have a vehicle during our stay. The staff were very organized and helpful in planning the logistics and made our arrival seamless. You can park at the Saba Pedro de Valdivia underground parking lot, which is just across the street, if you’re planning to have a vehicle during your stay.
Our room was plenty of space for 2 people, with a writing desk and view to Orrego Luco street. The decor is very charming, and the rooms were kept and maintained very well. The hotel staff was very friendly, reliable and overall made our stay very comfortable. Our breakfast was included and there was so many delicious varieties and treats to have daily. The central courtyard is a calming view as you enjoy your meal in the living room/dining area with plenty of books and decor. Also, you’re likely to see many people taking selfies just outside of the hotel, as it became quite a viral sensation just a couple of years ago.
The day of our check out we wanted to run a few errands in town before our flight and the staff allowed us to leave our bags securely in their storage so we would not have to fuss with them all day.
We would highly recommend staying here for a restful, peaceful and walkable environment. Plus a bonus is their midnight snack, which includes tea/coffee, cookies and snacks...
